Why are we crucifying DVDMom who works tirelessly to post information on this flu which may or may not turn into a deadly pandemic. None of us know yet which way this will go.
The flu season has only just begun and not into full bore infection yet.
I know that our news shows the hospital with tents outside because they cannot handle the hundreds of sick children. I have never seen that during a regular flu season.
I personally applaud her for working so hard and giving us a place to come and read the information and use it or not.
People don’t have to come into this thread if they don’t want to.....
Your question is a valid one. I’m sure it does look like I am angry with DvdMom. Look folks, while some on this thread are praised for what they are providing, it occurs to me they are not providing quite what you think they are.
See this post to understand where I am coming from.

As far as the information that is posted goes, it’s interesting if you keep it in perspective. I am merely trying to provide some counter-balance to the hyper-calamitous nature of these posts.
Yes, some people are dying. People die every year. Yes some of these deaths are quick and to people who seemed young vibrant and healthy just before symptom onset. That is alarming. Is that the only information that is germane? No. It’s not. How many were infected? Who lived. Who died. What were the percentages?
We have had the steady drumbeat of “PANDEMIC” pounding on the conscious minds of people since April. So now we have literally thousands of people flocking to hospitals because they think a family member shows symptoms. Imagine how many hospitals would have had tents in prior years if influenza had been managed as this flu is being managed.
The media and government colluded to scare the living —— out of people from day one on this. And now everyone is flocking to hospitals, so much so that a big tent has been erected at one. So how many people have died that entered that big tent? How many people lived? If that big tent were truly needed, the percentages would be devastating.
I don’t believe they are. I believe this is being blown up way beyond reason. And as much as I admire the tenacity to post, I must say I find the counterbalance to panic inducing posts to be nearly non-existent here.
That’s all I’m saying. DvdMom is doing a great job of catching every public mention of death. I just don’t see much of anything mentioning survivors, what must be tens of thousands of them that didn’t die.
